Hi,
I had family in Attleborough with the name Smith who were romany gypsies.
John Smith was the head of the family and died in the1970's.
He was married to a lady with the maiden name Lamb they had two children Mary and Leafy.
John was my grandmother's oldest brother[my great uncle].
Their father was called Owen Smith and his father was called Woodlock Smith.
Woodlock was an evangelist and his nephew was Gypsy Smith the well known evangelist.
I hope this can help you.

Hullo Louise,

Forgive the delay in answering. I'm not sure that your folk are connected to mine. My Attleborough Smiths are Samuel 1781 - 1847 and his wife Sophia WRIGHT 1774 - 1858. They moved to Essex. Any connection, do you think?
